Young Guns of Texas

Morning.

Hot day.

Say, I thought you might help me.

Been looking for a patrol that mighta passed this way,

maybe two or three days ago.

There were six men and an officer.

You awake?

Ain't they heard the war is over?

I thought you mighta noticed them.

Six Rebs and a Union captain.

There was a woman with them.

Yeah, I remember the woman.

Everybody does.

Did you happen to notice when they left?

Does that woman mean something to you?

I've never seen her.

Is the saloon open?

It's open, but you won't like it.

Buy you a drink?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Pay off, Jeff.

Are you still trying to get rid of them shin plasters?

These are greenbacks, U.S.

The bet was $3, metal.

- These greenbacks are as good as any metal.

You keep them, and I'll keep the metal.

Now wait a minute, boy, easy, boy.

Let him loose so I can handle him.

Wanna put your money on that, Charlie.

- Now wait a minute. Get your hands off me.

Turn him loose, and I'll show you.

Double or nothing?

Anything you want.

We'll do this right, down at the corral.

My man wins, I don't owe you, right?

Right?

What's your name?

Tyler, and what's going on in this town?

- Old Charlie bet he'd hit the first man came

through the saloon door.

Till you butted in, I figured it'd be Pike.

Pike?

Glendenning's foreman.

They mostly work for Glendenning.

Here, I'll hold your gear.

Now, watch him.

Watch that right hand, too. Keep away from it.

He don't even use his left to eat with.

Watch that gun.

When he shoots, it's Katie bar the door.

10 to one on Charlie.

I'll take that.

Come on, Kid, give it to him.

Where you heading?

Just thought I'd get me a beer, Luke.

Ain't you forgetting something?

You fight pretty good for an Eastern boy.

Yeah, well I went to a good school.

Sure you won't stay around here a while?

- Looking for a patrol that passed through here.

Captain and six men.

And the woman with them?

Yeah, that's right.

You know where they're headed?

- Seems like peace makes strange bedfellows.

Six Johnny Rebs and a blue-belly captain.

Don't be in such a hurry.

What do they call you?

Tyler.

Your patrol headed south two days ago.

Took the Comanche Trail toward the Big Bend country.

How far is it to Mexico?

It's far enough.

Depends on which trail you take.

Thanks.

- It's all right. Figure I owe you a favor.

All right, what happened to it?

Don't get in an uproar.

I asked you what happened to the money.

Well it looked like you was gonna lose,

so I bet it on Old Charlie.

You idiot.

Two to one he gets up.

I'll take it.

You bet two to one?

Keep your paper.

Why it's good U.S.

- All right, you're on, two to one he gets up.

Hey.

Hey, Tyler.

What do you want?

Me?

I don't want anything.

I just figured that, since you haven't got the price

of a meal, you might be interested

in a little free barbecue.

Not at your prices, friend.

- Well, just thought we might talk about that patrol.

What about this barbecue?

- It's a church social. They have it every year.

You are a member of the church?

No.

But you might as well know it, my old man's a preacher.

Well I'm glad to hear that.

Because for a while, I thought I couldn't trust you.

- You're a man of little faith, Brother Tyler.

Little faith?

And no money the way things turned out.

Told you I'd try to help you.

Well fair enough.

Now look, the patrol is heading down

the Comanche Trail to the Big Bend country.

I could use your help.

I didn't tell you that.

You didn't tell me anything.

- Look, all I know is a patrol came into town with a girl

and a captain and there was a sergeant called Dixon.

They bought supplies and left.

Paid for them in Yankee gold.

- Well there's 30,000 more where that came from.

30,000?

That's right. They have it with them.

Were you part of this patrol?

Hmm-mm.

- Well, if you got your hands on that 30,000,

what would you do?

Take it back where it belongs.

Take it back? Why?

Let's just say I'm a good citizen.

How's the water, Jeff?

Where do you think you're going?

Oh, Tyler, meet Morgan Coe.

- I heard Lily's back, and I figured she'd be at the dance.

- So will Glendenning and Pike and the boys.

Well there's not much he can do.

He's already fired me.

He'll think of something.

- Well, I haven't danced with her in a year,

and I just thought I'd go up there.

Well, you put one hand on her

and it's gonna be Katie bar the door.

I wasn't figuring on going there alone.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Preacher gets riled enough if his congregation sees me.

All I need to do is show up with you.
